The silly and amazing happenings in Haiti

While doing an ultrasound on a 5 month pregnant woman I notice she has not enough amnionic fluid. I mentioned this to her and her husband. Oh said the man that's what the gynecologist already told us. He said to just drink more water..... Actually it's not the first time I hear this advise.

So this morning this young healthy woman from far away tells me this: I had an accident 2 months ago. I had to go to school first but now I am here. So tell me what did I hurt in my body during the accident?

So this older surgery patient had his shirt on the wrong way. Backwards and inside-out. No one said a thing about it all day. When he was sitting on the surgery table I changed his shirt for him until.....the nurses explained me why he had it like that. It is to avoid and prevent evil on the way. Oops. An old custom everyone knows except me....not even after 20 years.

I got up at 4 a.m. and while feeding the dogs I see my neighbour lady sitting in the waiting room all by herself in the dark. She tells me she has a bad toothache. So I got inside to get her a painkiller and I hear her say "are you getting something for me or what?".  I answered "yes, what do you think I am doing now?". So I got her the meds and then she asks me "should I take them today?".......
